System.Collections is the namespace.  A collection in C# can be one of several classes, or a custom collection.  See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/concepts/collections for details.

Hi,

there's a myriad of collections in .NET available: 

• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.generic?view=netframework-4.7.1
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections?view=netframework-4.7.1
• https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.collections.specialized?view=netframework-4.7.1

for example. Your current question's not really clear what you're after. Can you elaborate?

Hi Manishamani,

According to your description and needs, as far as i know, the collection class is belong to namespace System.Collections.ObjectModel, so the relationship is like parent and children. 

About the introduction of them and how to use them, please check the following tutorials: 

Collections (C#):
